Bell was purchased in 2009 along with her full sister as our start back into breeding purebred Shetland ponies. We also had the desire to start driving matched pairs and hitches of which both were the start.

Bell was laid back and easy to start in harness. From January 2010 through November 2010, the ponies and I went to driving lessons every Tuesday. Her 2010 filly went with us and then went to events with us as well. Bell became not only a quiet single driving pony, but also became part of a pair, 3-abreast and 4-abreast hitches. She wasn’t officially “started” as a riding pony, but has no problems whatsoever with being a lead line pony.
